Manready Mercantile

Yesterday offered time for magazine perusing while doing some doctor visits with my parents.

While poring over one of my favorites, domino, I ran across Manready Mercantile…

Back in 2012 Travis set out to make manly candles for male gift giving after he realized how tough the men are to buy for. His DIY endeavor grew to include whiskey bath salts and wood-scented bath oils. He and a friend created a logo and off he went door-to-door selling his products. Needless to say, the business was soon more than he could handle out of his apartment and he moved to building in a historic Houston neighborhood…

With the added space he was able to expand and now sells goods from small manufacturers all across America…
